STUDENT COUNCIL: The Student Council, governing body of the Clifton Springs Central School for the school year 1943-1944, elected the following officers: Vice-president, Eileen Conley; Secretary, Janet Call; Treasurer, Clifford Squier. The President, Betty Goodman, was chosen through the new National- Honorary System. The Student Council had many responsibilities throughout this school year. It arranged assembly programs to be sponsored by the various classes and handled money made for the Athletic Association. It also made several recommendations for improvements for the benefit of all students. The greatest accomplishment of the Student Council this year was the drafting of a constitution for the governing body. It took a great deal of arduous labor and diligent thinking so that it would be fair to one and all. But it is a document well worth the time spent on it. First Row (left to right)—E. Conley. E.

OUR DEBUT . . Greetings, world, here we are at last, The Class of '44 is knocking at your gate, as in the past Many others have gained admittance to your glorious mysteries; We have attained the ultimate, for now we hold the golden keys. We unlock one door, dear world; war shatters all our dreams. You seem composed of blood and sweat and tyrants' prognostic schemes. We observe not calm and peacefulness nor even tranquil life; All we behold is a weary world, torn and broken with chaos and strife. Your second door is trimmed with sunbeams sparkling bright. As the door swings open we are blinded by a shining light. It glows and covers all the world, infusing it with brotherly love, And lo . . there infinitely supreme . . reigns the Cross of God, above. We realize what is before us, the tears and trials we face. But we will triumph over all with God's will and heavenly grace. We'll rid ourselves of aggressors; keep faith with those who died, Then establish a shiny virgin world, on which we can look with pride. Eileen Conley. Class Flower—Red rose. Class Colors—Silver and green. Class Motto—We strive for greater heights.

CLASS HISTORY 1940—We proudly crossed the threshold from grammar school into our high school career. Our first assembly program, sponsored by the girls of the class, was a humorous skit, called It Was a Lovely Meeting. In June, all members of the class enjoyed a wonderful time at our class picnic, which was held at Roseland. Class officers were: President Ellis Weld Vice-president Robert O Connell Treasurer ..................... Marion Snethen Secretary ...................... Cyril O Coyne Intramural Managers Marjorie Taylor John Carney Student Council Representatives Eileen Conley. John Vanderhoof 1941—As Sophomores, we began to feel that we were gaining our place among the experienced members of our Alma Mater. December 7th of this year, our country entered the war against the Axis. As a class, wc did our share in purchasing Defense stamps at the school. Class officers were: President ....-............. Robert O Connell Vice-president ............. Betty Goodman Treasurer ...................... Wade Walker Intramural Managers Morjorie Taylor Secretary John Vanderhoof Cyril O'Coyne Student Council Representatives ................. Eileen Conley, Ellis Weld 1942—When we re-entered the beloved portals of C.S.C.S.. we were no longer considered lower classmen, for we had entered the upper domain . . we were Juniors. We became the proud wearers of class rings, which made us truly feel a part of our school. Our Victory Prom, held during the Christmas holidays, was not a financial success because Old Man Winter played his cards against us. However, a good time was had by all who did attend and we were commended on our choice of Pete Renzi’s orchestra. Our second enterprise was our Junior play, entitled The Kid. All members of the cast displayed their dramatic abilities, under the able direction of Miss Maroney. The play was a very great financial success. Class officers were: President ...................... Betty Goodman Vice-president ................... Cyril O'Coyne Treasurer Ellis Weld Secretary .......................... Marjorie Ford Intramural Managers Marjorie Taylor John Vanderhoof Student Council Representatives Eileen Conley, Richard Verbridge 1943—We became the mighty Seniors of C.S.C.S and were proud to call ourselves by that title. Our class had exceedingly diminished in size, as so many of our boys had entered the various branches of the Armed Forces. We re proud of each and every one of them. Because of the fact that so many of our boys and other men throughout Clifton Springs had entered the service, and because of difficulties faced in wartime, all ideas of a Senior ball were disbanded. However, we very successfully presented our play. Act Your Age. It was the talk of the town for a long time afterwards. The play was directed by Miss Damon, to whom we wish to give heartfelt thanks for the time and patience she gave us. It was also during this year that we delighted members of the C.S.C.S. by our Truth and Consequences program. One of our classmates. Betty Goodman, was chosen president of the Student Council. Our last accomplishment of our high school career will be attained with the publication of this Clifton-ian.” Class officers were: President .......................

CLASS PROPHECY • • June 23, 1954. Dear Miss Damon: Today marks ten years since the day that ’our” class graduated from our beloved Alma Mater, Clifton Springs Central School. I have just returned from a trip through the Eastern States, during which I interviewed prominent people for the Clifton Springs Press, which has grown to be the fourth largest newspaper syndicate in the world. Last week, while in the blue grass region of Virginia. I was astonished to discover two former classmates in business togethei—that of the well-known Ayrault Shekell 'Brown Derby,” an exclusive country club and riding academy. After a delightful chat with the two lovelies.” I hurried on to another newspaper assignment. As I stepped from the huge transcontinental plane, I pondered over the interview I was slated for Kitty Hawk. North Carolina, with the inventor of the new sky-taxies. the Wellic” helicopter. Imagine my complete astonishment when broad-grinned Ellis Weld, Jr., stepped into the room. With him was Marge Ford, Elbe's secretary and renowned test pilot. We dined at the Ritzmore Plaza where a real surprise awaited me. Jack Lindner, the hotel manager, (who always did favor the Clifton girls), has with him as permanent entertainers, Marge Taylor and her all-male band, the Jamsters, with Frank Chalker as the trombone and Betty Rozelle, the ping girl, as chief vocalist. Not long after this I found myself in Miami, the home of the Driscoll’s School for the Obese.” During the course of our conversation, Betty slyly told me that she had made arrangements for me to meet some of her friends at tea. Her” friends turned out to be Robert O’Connell John Vanderhoof and Allan McCumber, who operate ”L’ Ecole pour le Danse.” They told me that Bob handles the smooth.” John the jit, and Allan the apache style of dancing. I then started walking the short distance to my hotel. As I passed a Super Market.” my eyes glimpsed a familiar figure setting up the window display. It was none other than Esther Clapton, who manages the establishment for the owner of a chain of such markets, Doris Washburn. It was then closing time, so I went with Esther to her apartment. While we were reminis- cing about our school days, a lady in white walked in, Elinor Turner, who is the supervisor of nurses at a nearby hospital. The next day, as I proceeded on my journey, once more by plane. I strangely enough ran into another school pal, Margaret Loughran. She is. you know, the first lady of the ballet and was on her way to New York, where she is to be the star in Le Danse des Oiseaux.” As I was descending from the plane, 1 noticed two mechanics rushing about that huge silver bird, making ready for the next trip. Naturally. I yelled a greeting to them as they were, of course. Richard Vcr-bridge and Charlie Sheldon. A taxi was waiting at the airport gate and I hailed it. Upon hearing a familial voice. I scrutinized the driver closely and found our old Bill Sleepy Symonds. Among other things, he told that he's married to a chorus girl and that he has three daughters who look like him . . that Marion Love and Mary McCarrick are now in New London, working as chief occupational therapists at the Soldiers' and Sailors' Hospital. The taxi stopped in front of the School of Design and I alighted. I asked the secretary if the head of the school was free. She led me into the office and there behind the desk sat the famous designer. Eileen Conley, just as spry and jovial as ever. She told me that she had just mailed you an autographed copy of her new book, “Short Stories for Enjoyment.” At long last, all my interviews were completed and I returned to Clifton Springs, a city that now has a population of 26,004. While reporting at the “Press Office. ’ Mr. Kemp handed me the latest edition, hot off the press, which bore a headline reading “Sanitarium Nurse Weds Ex-Sailor.” I read the details and learned that Betty and Harry are en route to Honolulu. Have you seen the new movie. My Secret Love, with that glamour boy, Cyril O’Coyne? Be sure to notice his vivacious leading lady, too, because it's Lana LaMarr, the former Dot Goodman. And. oh yes. I have recently been honored with the position of chief interviewer on the staff of The Clifton Springs Press. Well, it’s getting rather late, so 111 sign off. Have a big day tomorrow, interviewing the President. Don't forget to write soon. Your ex-pupil, CHARLOTTE HUGHSON.

Taylor. M. Love. E. Conley, C. Hughson. Our Senior play. “Act Your Age. was indeed a success. All those who attended were kept in stitches throughout the play by the lovable and laughable antics of those minute men. Ellie Weld and Bob Allen, as sailors who made love to the winsome lassies. Charlotte Hughson and Marge Ford. Eileen Conley as Cora the maid, added humor by slipping in dry, clever remarks. Later in the play, the handsomeness of the sailors overwhelmed her and she became coyly flirtatious. Cora retained her figure by daily wrestling bouts with Helga (played by Marian Love), the next-door neighbor's maid, of the deep booming voice and big-hearted manner. Betty Goodman, who had a two-fold appearance as Sandra and little Elsie. kept the attention of the audience (and also that of the sailors). Ralph Adams was the forceful kinetic Commanding Officer, about 50 years of age and every inch the master of all situations. Marg Taylor, nattily attired in a navy blue uniform and armed with charm and personality, played the Western Union girl. The play was quick moving, hilarious and definitely unique. We, the Seniors, wish to thank Miss Damon for her patience, valuable time and expert direction, and also the stage and property managers, who worked so diligently to help us make our play a success. Have you ever tried Ghost Toasties, the newest thing on the grocer’s shelf? You haven’t? Well, lend an ear while I misinform you. Early this Spring, the Senior Class put on a side splitting” assembly Truth or Consequences. sponsored by those golden, crunchy Ghost Toasties. Eileen Conley. the commercial announcer, opened the program. Af-tei a big build up for Ghost Toasties and the introduction of Bob (Ishkabbible) Griswold, who gave a toot on the clarinet for the right answer, and Douglas (Clara-bella) Brown, who gave a blast on the trombone if the wrong answer was given, she turned the microphone over to the Master of Ceremonies, that one and only Ellis Martin Weld, Jr. Soon the first four contestants, Janet Call, Hazel Ash. Bob Allen and Fred Hand, had missed their questions (they would have had to be Quiz Kids” to answer them) and paid the consequences. Then there was a pause for station identification . The Gee Tee” Trio. Marge Ford. Marge Taylor and Dick Verbridge, gave a rousing rendition of the Ghost Toasties theme song. T he attractive Miss Snizzerdrip (Margaret Loughran) forced her way up to the mike. because she felt compelled to tell the radio audience all the benefits she had received from Ghost Toasties, and then gave a mirthful recital. But back to the second half of the program. The next four contestants. Barbara Hunter. Margaret Loughran, Bill Symonds and Elmer Maslyn. met the same fate as their predecessors and had to pay the consequences. The fun being over, the Master of Ceremonies chuck-lingly bid the audience au revoir. After one last plug for the sponsor, the radio announcer. Master of Ceremonies and other participants, like the Arabs, gathered up their tents and silently stole away. CAN YOU IMAGINE? .. Betty Driscoll not chewing gum?
